On my way back from New Mexico this past week I made a detour south and went to Tombstone, Arizona. I'm sure everyone knows who lived there and what happen there in the 1800's. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, the Cowboy gang and all that. Its a very interesting and somewhat creepy little town. The town has been through a lot and so have the people who lived there around 1880.

I took some pictures that I thought I'd share with you all. I know there are a couple of western fans here so I hope you enjoy these photos. If you've never been to Tombstone, Az...you really need to visit someday.

Main street in Tombstone.

Big Nose Kate's Saloon. Big Nose Kate was Doc Holiday's girlfriend.

Doc Holiday and Big Nose Kate statues.

Stagecoach tour and Tombstone history lesson.

Crystal Palace Hotel/Saloon. A Tombstone hotspot for drinking and gambling back in the 1800's. I believe Wyatt Earp worked here before getting back into law enforcement.

Birdcage Theater. The coolest place in Tombstone. Everything inside is exactly the same as it was when the theater closed. There is a basement where card games were played and the original cards and chips are still on the tables from the last games played there in the 1800's. There are rooms where prostitutes took their customers including Wyatt Earp where he often met Josie who would later become his wife. There are bullet holes in the ceiling and walls throughout the building.

The majority of the town actually caught fire and a lot of the original buildings burned down. They were restored for the most part. The Birdcage survived the fire and the building is the same way it was in the 1880's. Everything inside is original. I've heard that the Birdcage is haunted as well as a few hotels and saloons there.

The pics I took are just of mainstreet but the whole town is pretty much a tourist attraction. The old courthouse is still there. Behind the courthouse is a courtyard where they hung people. Tombstone was the first town to hang a woman who was convicted of murdering her father.Other sites there are the Tombstone Epitaph Newspaper, Boot Hill graveyard and Doc Holiday's apartment.

The original home of Wyatt Earp stood for years in Tombstone until a few years ago when some kids set it on fire and destroyed it.
